Walgreen fiscal 2Q profit climbs 11 percent

DEERFIELD – Drugstore chain Walgreen says its fiscal second-quarter earnings climbed 11 percent, helped by earnings from European health and beauty retailer Alliance Boots and a business sale gain.

The Deerfield company says it earned $756 million, or 79 cents per share, in the quarter that ended Feb. 28. That compares to earnings of $683 million, or 78 cents per share, in last year’s quarter.

Adjusted earnings totaled 96 cents per share.
